(...) No, I agree with you that he should not have said "Baghdad Bob" and that it serves no good purpose to call someone a lackey. But of *all* the instances of provocation that have occurred over the years on Lugnet I would say this is very minor, (...) (20 years ago, 8-Apr-06, to lugnet.people, FTX)

(...) I won't speak for Mark, as I know he's perfectly capable of speaking clearly for himself. The question originally posed by Frank was echoed by Mark, and I find myself wondering the same thing. I think you and I are having two separate (...) (20 years ago, 8-Apr-06, to lugnet.people, FTX)

| | Re: Help with converting voltage on circuit board
|
|
I've taken some more detailed pictures of the circuit and the reverse side. (URL) through the manual, connections 6 and 7 are for sensors and connections 0-5 are for output (4V as labled on the cover), but you only can turn the circuit on or off. (...)

(...) Hi Dustin, I am an EE. Before I give you some advice, I need a bit more information about 9750 (I have never seen one in person): - I see a power jack: I assume this powers the electronic circuit, not the loads, right? What voltage is applied (...) (20 years ago, 8-Apr-06, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

| | Re: lowering noise

| | Re: Will NXT will work on Intel Macs ???
|
|
(...) The system requirements at lego.com say it requires MacOS X v. 10.3.9 or 10.4 and I'm pretty sure that runs on Intel Macs? So I'm guessing yes. But you could always contact LEGO customer support and ask. They might be able to help. ROSCO (20 years ago, 8-Apr-06, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

I'd like to try to convert the output of the voltage on a 9750 from 4V to 12V (to control 12V trains :).

Hi Ken. I am really diggin the collapsible leg design. Very clever. I think it would be possible for you to rework the hands so you could have possible fingers. You could use the click hinge design or something similar to Adam Silicott's mechs. F (20 years ago, 7-Apr-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) I like your model a lot. It's interesting - more than other mecha designs, gundams are very recognizable from their color schemes. This makes for some very good looking micro sized models. Keep it up! Chris (20 years ago, 7-Apr-06, to lugnet.build.mecha)
